Mr. A.P. Waterman,
Dear Sir,-
Yours of Oct. 14th at hand. We regret to say
that so far as we are concerned we prefer the position of Science Hall
as it was laid out by our Mr. Perkins on the ground. The position
seemed to be dictated by the ravine and spurs behind the
building, and by the open campus in front. It is of course a matter
which concerns you, but in so far as our opinion is concerned
we must express it in favor of the angled position.
Yours truly,
D. H. Burnham
